Ah, fair enough then. Unfortunately the dedicated / VPS pricing is a bit too much for something I'm going to use primarily as a VPN. I did try hotspotvpn about a year ago but had similar problems with speed, so I'm trying StrongVPN. So far it's almost good enough, streaming works if you let it buffer a tiny bit first. They have a lot of options to choose from so hopefully I'll find something perfect. (Different servers, openvpn/pptp, etc) -Noah From: pauldotcom-bounces at mail.pauldotcom.com [mailto:pauldotcom-bounces at mail.pauldotcom.com] On Behalf Of Harley Green Sent: Wednesday, 27 January 2010 3:28 AM To: PaulDotCom Security Weekly Mailing List Subject: Re: [Pauldotcom] VPN Services No, I use one of their dedicated private servers. But that should not have that much bearing on the network speed. Certainly not a difference of (25-1.12)Mb/s and (5-0.18)Mb/s...

Its definitely not DH that is your bottleneck. http://www.speedtest.net/result/694820312.png --Harley On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 2:58 PM, Noah <1giglimit at gmail.com> wrote: I took up your suggestion and tried Dreamhost, However I was only able to get 1.12Mb/s down, 0.18Mb/s up..

They include shell access with their shared web hosting account. If you choose to use Dreamhost and you are going overseas, you should submit a support ticket ahead of your trip telling them to white list your account. They flagged my login from South Korea a few years ago and blocked me until I got ahold of their support reps. Marv John Fitzpatrick wrote:
I'm interested in hearing from the mailinglist about recommendations for paid VPN services. I'm on a 3 week trip overseas and was tunneling in to my home machine but it seems my home machine crashed lol. I figure it's about time to add a VPN service to my geek arsenal. So how about it, anyone out there using a VPN service they like/love?
